Vegetable Oil Engines

Skizze von System eines Blockheizkraftwerkes Vegetable oil-driven block-type thermal power stations are considered to be an effi cient alternative to aggregates which are operated with fossil fuels. The engines utilised in these block-type thermal power stations are serial diesel engines which are adapted by the SEVA Energie AG for operation with vegetable oil.

After reaching the operating tempera-ture, a changeover to vegetable oil operation takes place automatically, and the aggregate is supplied with fuel from the main tank. In turn, an automatic changeover to operation with biodiesel occurs if the block-type thermal power station is turned off, and the lines for the fuel supply as well as the engine are fl ushed.SEVA Energie AG vegetable oil block-type thermal power stations are resistant to long-term utilisation of vegetable oils.

Because of the exclusive utilisation of technically well-developed engines and components of the highest workmanship quality, the SEVA Energie AG aggregates are opti-mally equipped for stronger material stress through the utilisation of vege-table oil. SEVA produces vegetable oil block-type thermal power stations with thermal outputs ranging from 100 to 620 kW, and thus offers its customers a large selection of block-type thermal power stations featuring various power classes.
